Women in Love (Oxford World's Classics edition) Book

''You think we ought to break up this life, just start and fly by?''

"Humanity is a huge aggregate lie, and a huge lie is less than a small truth. Humanity is less, far less than the individual because the individual may sometimes be capable of truth, and humanity is a tree of lies. And they say that love is greatest thing, they persist in saying this, the foul liars, and just look at what they do (...It's a lie to say that love is greatest, what people want is hate - hate, and nothing but hate. And in the name of righteousness and love they get it...If we want hate, let us have it - death, murder, torture, violent destruction- let us have it: but not in the name of love."


A masterpiece, arguably containing the most hideous female character in the history of English Literature. Gudrun has always made me want to gauge her eyes out...Sorry, not sorry!
